She could not believe that in my lifetime, I could be that big.”
Oluchi has since launched her own agency, O-Model Management, in Johannesburg, with a second office in Cape Town. Oluchi describes herself as an “entrepreneur at heart” and plans to expand her agency throughout Africa. She shares her passion with African teenagers: “I wanted to do more than the usual charity. I wanted to empower young adult women to make a living at an early age, so they can have a voice of their own even if they do not make it to the Western countries like I did. That is why I created O-Model Africa.”
Oluchi is very vocal about the need for more black models on the catwalks and in magazines.

As her career has taken off, Oluchi has never forgotten her roots and constantly gives back to society. As one of the most high-profile international models of Nigerian origin, she serves as a role model for other aspiring young girls in the West African country. She has volunteered her time and lent her image to NGOs such as LEAP Africa (an entrepreneurship incubator) and NIPRO. “I don’t necessarily have projects per se.

He was born in Ajegunle, Lagos to a father who is a DJ. Kcee attended Central High school, Isolo; and went on to University Of Nsukka where he graduated with a degree in TheatreArts.
In an interview the star singer mentioned few things about poverty and hustling:
"In Ajegunle there is hustle. You need to fight for yourself. In the ghetto you need to hustle for yourself. My parents tried training me in school, but of course it was beyond that. I saw other young people hustling and I had to join the trend. It is either you hustle or you die in the ghetto and like I said I didn’t want to beg, so I had to hustle for myself and today it’s paying off."
Growing up, Kcee did not plan to become a musician but to become a professional footballer as he played for Julius Berger and Puma football clubs locally.
Music for him started right from when he was in secondary school. Initially, he was playing football but later, he started singing in the church choir. Moreover, his father was a Disc Jockey and he was already listening to a whole lot of music. His musical career took off effectively in 2002 when he emerged winner of Star Quest.
Kcee's rise to fame was when he won the Star Quest talent show in 2002, which he won alongside Precious John. The first payment he earned from music performance was N20,000.
His mother supported him from the start. His father, like most fathers, was hoping he would study hard and become a doctor or lawyer. He was not in support of his career choice at first but when he started bringing money home, he realized that he could actually make money from music. Then, he started supporting and praying for him.

CAREER AND LIFE
Kcee and his longtime partner and friend Presh made an impact in the entertainment industry as a duo for 12years they worked together as music partners which gave then both a few recognition until 2011 when they called for a split both chasing their own career on their own not together anymore.

After the split, in an interview he said:
"I wouldn’t say my years of being a solo act pays better. I wouldn’t say that. If I say so it’s not going to be too fair because as a group we won Star Quest which took me out of AJ. As a group we made several hits. We made Siopon, Segemende, we made so much money. We made so much fame. We travelled far and wide. But I’m excited because I’ve been able to prove to Nigerians that I can stand as an individual. I’m excited. Each time I remember my journey, it gives me joy."
After the split, the singer and his elder brother, Emeka Okonkwo (also known as E-money) became owners of Five Star Music.
Limpopo was the hit single that brought him to a bigger limelight. One thing about Limpopo is, it’s a sweet music. When he recorded Limpopo, it took him less than 40minutes. When they were done with the beat and the song, he started partying in the studio with his crew. They popped champagne, he gave everybody food and all.
He dropped eight singles before Limpopo. Limpopo was the number eight and it was the sixth video he did. Some came out and some didn’t come out. he has been hustling, he has been working. At a point he had to go look for fund. He ran out of funds.
He wasn’t comfortable. He needed a breakthrough. Sometimes, it is about the individual, it is about your hustle, your dedication, your passion. So him me, this is his life. This is what he love to do. This is what he pray to do every other day. So his success story is about dedication, passion and commitment.

He also said the single Limpopo has proved itself as a good song and for him, one thing he know is Limpopo is one of those successful songs because he remember he has performed in the Villa like four times. And he keeps performing in the Villa for the President and the First Lady for a longtime. He also mentioned he has done wedding for many governors’ children, he has also done big events in and out of the country. It’s amazing. It shows the song is good, people love the song. He did a show in Port-Harcourt, a very big one with some Makossa troupes that came in from different parts of Africa. He did Limpopo twice, everybody was on their feet. They didn’t want him to leave. He did it over and over with his band, it was massive. Even the Makossa troupe, they were all like who are you? They even know the song. When they boarded the flight to Port-Harcourt, they were singing Limpopo and these are people who don’t speak English. And He was like wow! The song has travelled far and wide.
